Nakarating na ako sa school at nakasuot na pula na shirt dahil Valentines ngayon. Mga pulang puso nakasabit sa mga bintana, pader, at sa mga kisame, hinahanda na rin ang stage dahil may gaganapin daw na concert.
Tumungo naman ako sa mga booth, mat mga wedding booth, jail booth, photo booth at iba pa. Marami din mga estudyante na hindi galing sa school namin pumunta dito kasama ang mga jowa nila o crush.
"Sana all," sabi ko sa sarili ko at napa buntong-hininga na lang.
"Anong sana all? Tingnan mo naman mga 'to!" narinig ko sabi ni Lucas at lumingon ako sa likod at nakita ang mga lalaki at babae may hawak-hawak na flower at chocolates.
"Azura, free ka ba ngayon?"
"Azura, magpakasal na tayo sa wedding booth!"
"Azura, ito La Madeleine au Truffe, pinabili ko pa 'yan sa Paris para sa'yo"
They were swarming at me while Lucas was pushing them back. I just laughed awkwardly, shit, ang ganda ko talaga.
I felt a hand wrapped around my wrist and pulling me away to my admirers. I looked up and was surprised to see... Raizel.
"Ano muna kaya yung try natin? games o mga street foods?" he asked and stopped to look at me wanting to know my answers.
"Street food muna!" sabi ko sa kanya habang hinihimnas ko ang ang aking tiyan dahil nagugutom na talaga ako.
"Sure," he agreed. Bago kami lumakad, I heard a familiar voice.
"Can I join you guys?"
Lumingon ako sa likod ko and saw Shiloh wearing a black hoodie and joggers. He was smiling and walked toward us.
"I just finished my shift and I heard the news from my former professor that there will be Valentine's event going on here, so I came here to have fun," he said while smiling at us. He then turned to look at Raizel. "Ah, cousin! I didn't expect to see you here. Usually, you will just stay at home and help your father with some business." He said full of surprise is written on his face.
"Shut your mouth." Raizel hissed at him and then turned to look at me, expecting me to reject Shiloh, but I can't after all Shiloh did so many things for me.
"Sure, join us. The more the merrier." I smiled and I saw the disappointment on Raizel's face while Shiloh was very happy.
Naglakad kami and tried so many foods, minsan mga galing sa free taste na inuubos namin. Raizel and Shiloh get along sometimes, pero hindi maalis ang inis na mukha ni Raizel which was very cute.
Balak din namin itry ang isang maid cafe pero bigla kami hinila kaming tatlo para pumasok sa Jail booth.
"Hoy, wait lang! Neither of them is my date!" depensa ko habang hinihila ang sarili ko to get away from their grip. Damn, they're strong!
"Wala! Ikaw ang nasa hotspot ngayon, Azura, dahil andami mo daw nireject. Kaya you are under arrest!" sabi ng isang estudyante na humihila sa amin.
"And Raizel is arrested for rejecting and stealing the hearts of the girls!" sabi naman ng estudyante na humihila kay Raizel.
"At itong doctor na ito, ever since that day nung dragon festival. You stole the girls hearts at kaming mga lalaki na mukhang hipon! Di na makachempo sa mga babae!" may galit talaga 'tong isang 'to kay Shiloh.
Shiloh tilted his head still smiling and could not understand what the student said to him.
Pinapasok kami sa selda at mukha talaga itong totoong kulungan, masyado naman yata nila sineryoso ang Jail booth na 'to.
"Mga 30 minutes kayo dito sa loob, pero pag may nagbayad sa labas ng piyansa makakalaya na kayo."
"Magkano ba ang piyansa?"tanong ni Raizel.
"Bente."
"Pucha! Kaya naman pala walang tao gusto pumiyansa sa amin dahil corrupt kayo!" reklamo ko. Bente?! Sino naman tanga ang magbabayad ng bente para palayain kami? Eh andami mabibili sa bente!
"Azura?"
Tumingin ako at na kita sila Lucas at Aerum nasa loob din ng selda.
"O, ano kaso niyo?" I sat down beside them ganun din kila Shiloh at Raizel.
"Nag usap lang kami, no more like a quarrel. Bigla na lang kami hinila at sabi arestado daw kami kasi nag lo-lovers quarrel daw kami," Aerum annoyingly said at umirap na lang siya at naka krus ang mga braso niya sa dibdib niya.
Tumawa na lang ako, because students here ship them a lot because of this misunderstanding na kahit sa labas ng school nag kalat din. They think that Lucas and Aerum are just being secretive because of Aerum's father, so they kept the gossip as low as possible.
"Here," Aerum said and giving me something. I smiled at gave ko ito, at binuksan. It was a beautiful red flower hairpin and it looked so marvelous. "I did not buy it. I made it for you," she said and look marvelous
"Aww, thank you, Aerum!" I smiled. "I will wear it all the time!"
She giggled softly, "just wear it whenever you know, since you are our queen." She said, kaya tumawa na lang ako and patted her head.
"O, sa'yo na 'to." inalok sa'akin ni Lucas ang isang plushie na gintoki. I got familiarised with it.
"Ito ba yung nasa claw machine?!" I asked in disbelief. Did he really get it for me?
"Di ko kinuha para sa'yo. Na bored lang ako at tinry ko 'yung claw machine. Syempre magaling ako na tao, nakuha ko kaagad yung Gintoki." he said bragging.
I just smiled and looked at the two gifts.
They are very precious.
"Pakawalan mo 'yang Commander namin!" sigaw ng isang lalaki. Wait lang, si Petro 'yan!
I stood up and tried reaching him. "Petro, inosente kami dito! Tulungan mo kami!" I cried helplessly.
"Ako bahala sa inyo, Commander!"
At yun na nga nagbayad si Petro ng 100 pesos.
Pagkalabas namin na kita ko ang buong AODO members na may dalang chocolates, flowers, at maliliit na plushie, paraw daw sa amin daw 'yan.
"Aalis na ako." I chuckled and looked at Shiloh and Raizel. "Kayo na muna ang mag date, dahil dadalhin ko pa 'tong mga 'to sa Pares."
"We'll be fine. Just go with your friends." Shiloh smiled reassuringly.
I said my goodbyes to them at tumungo na kami sa Pares. Mukhang ang ka date ko ngayon ay ang AODO... and I am happy with it.
